> People tend to follow incentives, rather than focusing on making wise decisions.

This is the key issue. Solving it isn't easy -- it requires people who are wise, and wisdom is a scarce commodity.

Even wise people likely follow the incentives. What is wise about doing something that your employer doesn’t reward in exchange for doing something that they will reward?
It's wise to do what's morally right, regardless of the consequences.
Sure, but I guess my point is that it's not clear that going against the wishes of your employer is what's morally right.
